Are macbook actually good for programing?
I'm trying to go in economics with a specialisation in econometric data science, yet I don't know shit about programming. Most of the ai softwear we'll use, will be on windows. Yet I was still planing to learn linux.

thinkpad T series

This but stick to GalliumOS. Many chromebooks will have audio issues with other distros. GalliumOS is geared towards flashed chromebooks.

I've had three Asus. Every one has had something fucked up out of the box.
This one fortunately is only the speakers.
The prices are okay, but they obviously get assembled in the factory with the 3-year-old china girls instead of the 6-year olds. So it's dicey.

no site at that url

>working on a laptop

Get one with an hdmi port and as many usb ports as possible.

Also Chromebooks are super cheap. If it's just for business and programming, Chromebook with GalliumOS is the way to go. I recommend looking up on the GalliumOS website first to see if there are any compatibility issues.

You can put any OS on Mac with BootCamp.
I wouldn't recommend virtualization if you're going to go with a resource intensive application, and would use Bootcamp instead, but I run Windows 10 and Linux at the same time on my Mac with VirtualBox. You could always do that first and see if you don't like it then go the Bootcamp route instead.

Should I trust something made by google, for my datas?

Would that take a lot of space?

gonna dev python apps and deploy using docker containers def get macbook

grats user

make sure you get the new ryzen chip
it slays

BootCamp partition at least 80GB per OS on the safe side.
Virtualization: Prob takes 10GB per OS on top of your MacOS. You create a dynamic virtual disk that expands in memory for any files you add in the virtual OS.

256GB and never had problems with storage since flash drives and external drives are so inexpensive.

Also I don't like the Mac trackpad sensitivity in Windows so I'd recommend a wireless mouse.

>I run Windows 10 and Linux at the same time
on how much ram though?

thinkpad t or dell latitude 74xx series. you can find decent deals on them

great picks

Yup, Unix and Linux go hand in hand. All you really need is visual studio code and your terminal. MBP keyboard is also very nice

latitudes especially are reliable and easy as hell to fix. i still use a 7450 everyday. have dropped it off of server racks dozens of times and have only had to replace the screen once, which took maybe an hour.

It's a thinkpad, anyone who tells you different is a pleb, and wrong

Those thinkpad look interesting just basic enough to not be overpriced. Do the cheaper ones usualky come with the water proof keyboard? That could be usefull I want to use my computer while drunk a crowded student bar, after class.
